Medan, in Indonesia, has one of the best animal taxidermy collections in the world. Why? Its founder, Dr H. Rahmat Shah, is an avid hunter and he's crisscrossed the world, shooting everything possible. Their loss of life is the museum goer's gain. It's an amazing place, both in the variety of animals and the quality or preservation and display.
Two animals of the "Big Five" trophy animals to hunt. Can you name the other three species?
Big horned thing and a snarling hippo, blue light for water mood.
Getting local to Sumatra, the orangutan. Formal warthog portrait.
The "Big Five" animals to hunt: lion, rhino, elephant, leopard and panda. Oh no, not a panda! Correction, the last animal of the five is the cape buffalo.
Various cats getting busy. The museum loosely divides animals geographically and/or by similar species. Noah couldn't have done a better job.
